When looking for added security for adjacent teeth during dental cavity preparations, you don’t have to look any further than the Tor VM Loop Matrix. Designed for maximum stability, this protective device shields the adjacent tooth from any potential damage caused by the dental bur during cavity preparations. It is also highly useful in crown, class II and class III preparations. The metal material this matrix is made from is just malleable enough for allowing visibility during class III preparations but also strong enough to maintain stability and protection throughout the procedure. This instrument also ensures minimum plastic usage and has a reasonably low associated cost.
ther benefits of this wonderful tool include its ability to maintain steadiness even with a lack of contact points. Additionally, it provides great isolation and is marvellously paired with active wedges for even more substantial separation. This, in turn, creates a much-needed pre-wedging effect which improves overall restoration accuracy.
Operating the Loop Matrix:
1) Regulate the matrix loop to a size most closely corresponding to the size of the target tooth.
2) Next, position the loop matrix over top of the desired tooth and slide it on.
3) You can pull on the end tab to tighten it – which warrants comfortable and firm embracing of the tooth.
4) The matrix can then be easily loosened and reused on another tooth.
This device is offered in two different heights: a smaller 5mm height which is very helpful when dealing with low anterior teeth and a larger 7mm height. They both come in packs of 6 pieces each, with the 7mm ones also having a 50 pieces per pack option.
As previously discussed, the Tor VM Loop Matrix is exactly what you need for a safe and effective preparation. It is a simple yet very powerful tool which is guaranteed to ease the restorative process along with patient comfort. So add it to your archive of instruments and give it a try.
